* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: [[BigInJapan In Japan,]] this is one of the most beloved and iconic American indie films. Japanese society still places a lot of emphasis on getting married and not disappointing your parents, so [[ValuesResonance a lot of viewers can relate to Billy going that far]]. The Japanese cult following for the movie even extends to Gallo himself: his artwork is commonly seen in Japanese modern art museums, he appeared in the Japanese film ''Human Trust'', and he was the visual inspiration and [[Tuckerization source of the names]] for Vincent Volaju in ''Anime/CowboyBebopKnockinOnHeavensDoor'', Vincent Smith in ''VideoGame/SilentHill3'' and Vincent Brooks from ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}''

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Layla's tap dance.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Despite his attitude, Billy has several moments of being a real sweetheart.
** At the end, he calls Goon back and apologizes for insulting him and even agrees to start calling him Rocky.
** When he realizes his love for Layla, he buys her a heart-shaped cookie. Then he turns to a random customer in the diner and asks if he has a girlfriend. He confirms that he does, so Billy buys him one too, to take home.
** The final shot of [[spoiler: Billy in Layla's arms]].
** While it happens gradually and subtly, Layla agreeing to stay and look after Billy is also quite heartwarming, especially when she more or less admits her love for him.
* JerkassWoobie: Billy is a huge jerk but we eventually learn he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and has his reasons for being so nasty.
* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: According to WordOfGod, the events in the movie were not what "really" happened but is Billy's perception of his own actions. Considering his low self-esteem, it makes sense.
